ABOUT

We want to thank you for your interest in Steps Together and invite you to help us collect gift cards for our beneficiary families this holiday season.

As you can imagine, our beneficiary families are focused on caring for their loved ones and seeking treatment all while trying to maintain their jobs and family commitments. Time and money are scarce when facing a medical crisis, a reality that is only compounded during the holiday season.

Last year, with the assistance from many in our community, we were able to provide gift cards and a holiday grant to our families. It was eye opening to learn how many of them appreciate the donations of gifts, but the cards and money allowed them to once again go to the store and pick a gift out for their loved ones. Often times the joy is in giving and we want to ensure they have that opportunity.

We are inviting you to place an 18” holiday tree from Steps Together in a prominent place where people in the community can place gift cards to be distributed to our families. The goal is to have them purchase gift cards from your business or other businesses such as food stores, gas cards, Amazon cards, etc. and hang them on the tree. We will have a small sign explaining the purpose of the tree and our mission.

Our goal is to have the trees delivered to you in advance of the post-Thanksgiving rush and then pick the proceeds up on Friday, December 14th. We will be announcing on social media each location hosting our giving trees to welcome the community into your business to support the effort. Should you have your own tree already, that’s great too.

Please let us know if you would like to help by displaying our tree this holiday season. You can email Diane Schilke @ dschilke1@comcast.net or call her at 908-334-1036 with interest.
